Question
For any two vectors $\vec{\text{a}}$ and $\vec{\text{b}},$ write when $\big|\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}\big|=\big|\vec{\text{a}}-\vec{\text{b}}\big|$ holds.
✓

Answer

Given that
$\big|\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}\big|=\big|\vec{\text{a}}-\vec{\text{b}}\big|$
Squaring both sides, we get
$\big|\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2=\big|\vec{\text{a}}-\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2$
$\Rightarrow|\vec{\text{a}}|^2+\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2+2\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}=|\vec{\text{a}}|^2+\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2-2\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}$
$\Rightarrow4\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}=0$
$\Rightarrow\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}=0$
⇒ $\vec{\text{a}}$ and $\vec{\text{b}}$ are perpendiculalr.
